WA wingsuit fliers break national record

West Australian wingsuit fliers have broken a national record while achieving the first-ever state record with a jump involving 16 people.

The wingsuit fliers gathered in York, east of Perth, where they jumped from 14,000 feet and slid into their "slots" to form a 16-way unlinked diamond, travelling at speeds of up to 150km/hr.

Not only did they set a WA record but they also broke the previous national record of 13 jumpers, although this is yet to be formally accepted.

However, the state record was confirmed by Australian Parachute Federation judges.

Organiser and flier Scott Paterson told AAP on Sunday that the jump was always aimed at setting a WA record. It was also practise for a national record attempt to be held in November, with wingsuit fliers from across Australia.

"The state record attempt was to get a selection from WA to participate in the national record attempt," Mr Patterson said.

He hopes all the WA wingsuit fliers will participate in the November jump but it will depend on how many people from interstate fly to WA for the national record attempt.
